Most non-real estate investors think that the rest of us are fat cats with tons of dough and that we deserve to get taken down a peg.

We had a number of other flips going on and this was a monster project, so we decided to put it on the back burner for a while.

Lot's of these syndicators like to syndicate big apartment buildings because they take a fat fee.I like retail because I understand it on a deep level so have comfort with it where others tend to be scared reading the latest news soundbite of the day.I think retail is poised for a nice rebound 2023-2025.

I'd agree with your initial post...If you're finding the offmarket deals yourself (and not having fat trimmed by a wholesaler/agent), you could still make it happen depending on your location. 

“I get called a fat f_ _k every time I walk past,” Nichols told CNN.

I put a 5 burner flat top stainless stove in a student housing apartment that I own.

I pay for slightly better than minimum stainless steel (ss) appliances, and stackable washers and dryers: fridge with gray sides instead of black (unless I’m putting it in a cabinet, then just make sure the handle is ss), but don’t splurge for an ice maker unless included (150ish more), Range has sturdy Grates with ss knobs, top and behind knobs (150 more) and is usually a 5 burner, dishwasher is solid ss with buttons on top ($100 more), over range microwave more stainless with a look similar to the range (25-50 more).

I loved showing them how to cut so much fat off and in return help there family thrive.

This is one of the reasons I still love me a fat wad of cash, solid and heavy in my hand, stinking of sin and sweat.

Big fat zero.
